Here's my first real non-pen, which is, as you hopefully can tell, a cane. The assembled pic shows that the colors actually do flow together nicely, even though the disassembled pics show that the colors don't match exactly (especially the bottom blank). The bottom has a more distinct orange color, but it picks up the highlights in the middle blank, so it doesn't look too bad together. The middle blank is really the focal point of this cane - the figure was just amazing. The reason I added two disassembled pics is that there's a REALLY odd highlight in the wood that's showcased in the last pic. It's near the bottom of the blank, almost dead center, right near the end of the "hot spot" from my flash. It's naturally occuring, but it doesn't match any of the other stuff surrounding it. Really neat, and very visually interesting.
CA/BLO on the top blank, with just a natural finish on the bottom two (the middle one didn't like the CA, and I was afraid to try it on the bottom one). A coat of TSW tops it off in the pics, but I'll probably add another before I ship it out to my Aunt for Christmas.
I learned a heck of a lot from this one, and look forward to making some more. Any comments/critiques/etc. are welcome, as always.
BTW, thank you again to everyone who offered advice as I was looking into making this!
